A compact sans with heavy, even strokes and tight internal counters. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving letters like C, G, O, and Q a squarish roundness, while terminals stay clean and mostly flat. Proportions are condensed with a steady vertical rhythm; apertures are modest and joins are sturdy, creating a dense, poster-like texture. The lowercase is straightforward and utilitarian, with simple single-storey forms and short extenders, and the numerals follow the same chunky, squared-off logic for consistent color in text.
Works best for headlines, branding, packaging, and short UI or signage strings where a compact, high-impact word shape is desired. It’s particularly suited to sports, industrial, and product contexts that benefit from a sturdy, modern voice.
The overall tone is strong, no-nonsense, and contemporary, with a slightly industrial feel. Its rounded-rectangle curves add a friendly softness, but the compact weight and tight spacing keep it feeling purposeful and energetic rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in a condensed footprint while maintaining a consistent, rounded-rectangular geometry across rounds, corners, and terminals. It prioritizes punchy presence and uniform texture over airy openness or delicate detail.
At display sizes it reads as solid and confident, while at smaller sizes the tight counters and compact proportions can make letters feel more massed together. The squared curvature produces a distinctive silhouette that stands apart from purely geometric or purely grotesque sans styles.
